My Review: Stop the Traffik


At the end of the month, First Wildcard will be touring Stop the Traffik, a book produced by the United Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking. Stop the Traffic is styled more like a magezine than most books. It has abundant photographs, charts, graphs, and other graphic elements. While divided into chapters, they are really more of a collection of related stories than chapters with a beginning, middle and end. While the book contains stories of many people, they are all short and just tell the surface facts, rather than getting deeper as a book by and about one person, such as Road to Lost Innocence.

This was not an enjoyable book to read, but it is a book that needs to be read. For more information on human traffiking, see these websites: Stop the Traffik Coalition for the Removal of Pimping as well as others referenced in the book.

    I'm purposely not reading your review since I've not yet read this book.
    I am about half way through Jantsen's Gift; excellent book. Had me in tears which makes it hard to read

    I was on GoodReads to see how many stars you gave Stop the Traffik. I wrote my review today but it won't be on my blog until the tour date; just works easier that way for me to keep review with First WildCard posting.....
    I didn't like the format of the book

    I wasn't that crazy about the format either. It was too long for a magazine article, but not in depth enough for the size book it was.
